Neon Cyber Emerges From Stealth, Shining a Light Into the Browser

Neon Cyber's stealth exit was featured in an exclusive interview with Kevin Townsend of Security Week where Kevin highlights our exciting Workforce Cybersecurity Platform.

“The company emerged from stealth, September 16, after raising seed funding from Austin-based Silverton Partners in April 2025.

Much of cybersecurity’s mitigations were designed years ago to protect infrastructure and data, which was correct at the time. But company use of the internet has changed. Cloud computing and remote working have hastened the demise of the perimeter, and the arrival of AI has increased the speed of attacks. The old methods no longer work, yet cybersecurity has not adapted its core defense.

The need now is to move security closer to the cause of insecurity – which is the workforce rather than the infrastructure. It is the workforce that is phished and socially engineered into causing or allowing breaches; and AI is making both far more effective.
